The Myth And The Mythological Being Harpy
7 December,2018


A rapacious monster named the Harpy
Described well in ancient mythology
One of those, a beautiful mythological being
Once was tempted by a royal king;

They hovered, hovered and hovered
To prey any one that they aimed,
Some a foolish king being prompted
Day after day for any of them waited;

Luckily, once on a late spring day
Near the field of newly cutting hey
One harpy, anyway, had been seen
Instantly the news reached the king;

The king did loudly express great sorrow
Cried, "I will be there from tomorrow"
And lamented all the while in the court
That left nobody in a little comfort;

One day something remarkably happened
One harpy the king suddenly watched
It was hovering around the palace
The king took it as the great chance;

To face it the king climbed up a top roof
At that moment on his head was royal cap,
While rounding the harpy was a little slow
By chance on king's crown it put its one claw;

Without delay it flew away with the crown
What king was able to notice very soon,
At once he sent some strong forces
To recover the crown with both claws;

The royal forces marched for harpy
Harpy hurriedly flew from that territory,
The frustrated march returned the palace
But without crown the king they did face.
